brobostigonatleast the  tardis console doesnt look like a bong anaymore.17:58
nigelbhahaha17:59
daftykinsi made a little mash up of before and after pics from my accident18:05
daftykinsone is pretty graphic of my stitches, so don't click if you're squeamish18:05

popeyI saw an Occulus Rift devkit in CEX at the weekend18:07
daftykinsit's low res so you're safe (:18:07
popeywas tempted18:07
daftykins:O! v1?18:07
ali1234the DK1 is a bit crap tbh18:07
=== izdubar is now known as MarkDude
penguin42popey: I saw Google Glass18:30
popeyʘ‿ಠ18:32
popeyin CEX!?18:32
penguin42yes18:42
penguin42look in their online thing they list a few18:42
penguin42they're asking 995 for them18:43
moreatiI was struggling to work out why you were surprisde to18:43
moreatisee those at an international trade show, then the penny dropped18:43
=== izdubar is now known as MarkDude
daftykinsXD18:45
penguin42moreati: There was supposedly some heavy restrictions in the agreement when buying them about resale, and it's also a bit odd to turn up in CEX18:45
moreatipenguin42: I was reading CEX and thinking CES18:46
penguin42ah18:46
ali1234CEX is basically a shop that fences stolen goods so i don't see why they'd care about resale agreements18:46
penguin42ali1234: Oh they're not as bad as some; they keep all the serial numbers logged18:46
daftykinslol i'm too weak to slide my sash window shut, halp :(18:47
ali1234did i mention that the oculus rift no longer works correctly in ubuntu? bug 133764118:50
lubotu3bug 1337641 in linux (Ubuntu) "Oculus Rift "drifts" on recent kernels" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/133764118:50
daftykinslol at BIOS update suggestion, seriously.18:52
ali1234it's not the first time i've had that either18:52
ali1234and it's never a useful suggestion18:52
daftykins:/18:53
penguin42yeh that always get suggested - sigh18:53
ali1234it's done by a script18:54
penguin42ali1234: It's worth trying the upstream kernel ppa though to see if it's fixed before going further, it should only take a minute18:54
ali1234yeah, i'll try it one day18:55
ali1234there's only about three games that work with the oculus on linux18:56
penguin42it's a curious bug to get a small rotation offset18:56
ali1234it's down to the way head tracking works18:57
penguin42what do they use - gyroscope?18:57
ali1234it has multiple different methods18:58
penguin42the kit I used back in '94 had a magnetic coil system (polhemus)18:58
ali1234it uses the accelerometer/gyroscope to guess the approximate rotation18:58
ali1234ie dead reckoning18:58
ali1234and then it uses the compass to correct18:58
ali1234the bug appears to make the compass not work, so it just relies on dead reckoning, which builds up error over time18:59

daftykinsAmazon FireTV now available in the UK \o/18:59
daftykinsjust got to wait for it to be truly cracked wide open ;)18:59
diddledan_I don't want an amazon firetv 'cos it won't play googley play-doh purchases19:01
daftykinsit runs XBMC nicely :)19:04

zleaplooks like Munich is going to give away lots of 12.04 cd's to help increase adoption,19:26
MarkDude:D19:26
zleapi replied to the tweet on this and asked why 12.04 when 14.04 is the latest LTS release19:27
popeyzleap: 12.04 has unity2d, 14.04 doesnt19:54
zleapah ok19:55
zleapso is 12.04 better for people then19:55
popeyfor some people it may be19:57
zleapok19:58
zleaphmm19:58
zleapit would be cool if we could do something like that over here,  but i don't think libraries would go with it19:58
MarkDudeJust keep asking20:02
zleapok20:03
MarkDudeYou never know- more likely are teaching areas- possibly schools20:03
zleaplocal library already does code club (well exeter)20:03
zleapand torbay librariesa re looking at it20:03
MarkDudehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Co37GO2Fc20:03
zleapmaybe what is needed is to take a minimal ubuntu and add lots of coding programs to it20:03
zleapso its a ubuntu-developer spin20:03
MarkDudeBest FOSS video I have seen in a while - Charlie ROCKS!20:03
ali1234yes, make a developer spin already20:04
ali1234do it20:04
MarkDudedev spins rock20:04
rsol_#emfcamp20:04
ali1234over in #xubuntu we were brainstorming random ideas20:04
zleapI am working on the docs for ToriOS which is a very minimal distribution based on ubuntu20:04
ali1234one was to make a "extras" iso, with things like libreoffice, gimp, inkscape, devtools20:05
ali1234this oculd be shared between all the different versions20:05
zleapyeah20:05
zleaponce its finished,  and out of beta / alpha then that is a good time to start on different spons20:05
daftykinsdifferent spoons :D20:06
ali1234it's never finished20:06
zleapout of interest if I took lubuntu minimal on a sd flash disk thing, and booted live and installed stuff it SHOULD keep the installed programs right, so in a way i can do the same thing that way20:06
ali1234no idea20:06
zleapok20:06
zleapi don't really understand how all this works20:06
zleapbut a developer edition would be good and would tie in realy well with the curriculum20:07
Azelphurali1234: whelp, this should be interesting20:07
zleapas there are also loads of e-books out there and even the ubuntu full circle special editions that could be included20:07
AzelphurI'm about to be officially on a Bitcoin salary20:07
zleapohhh20:07
zleapwhen i boot back in to torios Livce later on i will see if scrot is still installed, if so my what i said would be the case20:08
zleapso i then take ubuntu mini and add stuff to it20:09
zleapthen work out how to make an iso from that flash disk20:09

ali1234hetzner problems?22:07
ali1234am i even connected?22:07
Azelphurali1234: yup22:07
ali1234i don't understand22:08
diddledan_ali1234: I'm having hetzner issues too22:10
ali1234i'm connected to irc through our server22:11
ali1234but i can't create any new connections at all22:11
ali1234weird22:11
diddledan_ditto22:11
diddledan_I just lost connectivity and my website went down22:12
ali1234yeah, same22:12
diddledan_it appears back up for me for now but I'm still getting alerts about services being down22:12
diddledan_unrelated but my company's servers in a pulsant datacentre in reading are also offline22:13
diddledan_my website is behaving like a yoyo right now22:33
diddledan_I'm surprised I've remained connected here22:33
daftykinsdiddledan_: hi sir22:37
diddledan_ello22:40
diddledan_on the phone :-)22:40
daftykinsat this hour :o22:41
ali1234yep same22:43
ali1234it's on http://www.hetzner-status.de/en.html now22:43
daftykinsjust seen a site fail to login that did a few mins ago, could be related22:44
ali1234on the phone to hetzner? ;)22:46
diddledan_nope, pulsant :-)22:48
diddledan_boss comes first :-p22:48
diddledan_re: hetzner: The Problem should be fixed. Our current analyses of the issue showed that a core system in Falkenstein stopped forwarding traffic while still participating in Routing Protocol. We'll closely monitor the further behavior and will discus this matter with the manufacturer.23:08
ali1234cool. it does indeed seem to be working okay now23:08
diddledan_yeah, I've not had any alerts for a wee while now23:09
ali1234we just launched our new website today23:09
ali1234and now everyone thinks it doesn't work23:09
diddledan_grr23:10
ali1234you know, i'm pretty sure that router has been acting flaky for about a week now23:13
ali1234i guess it finally properly died23:13
diddledan_thank goodness for our tooling - I just relocated the company website to a secondary server in a different datacentre (my pulsant datacentre issue caused it to go down)23:16
diddledan_thankfully that's the only public service which appears to be affected - we're unbalanced it seems23:16
diddledan_all our others are already in the datacentre that I migrated to rather than being evenly spread between the two centres23:17
AzelphurContracts are all signed now, I'm officially on a BTC salary :)23:18
diddledanoh dear, still intermittent?23:20
ali1234seems okay here23:21
ali1234http://drumoff.tv/23:22
diddledanI guess it's just a case of monitoring it23:23
